Welcome again to the Learning Curve, a collaborative e-newsletter from the Cumberland River Compact's Local Officials Community Water Curriculum and the Building Outside the Box Program. As 2008 comes to a close, we know the times are changing! Many companies, organizations, groups, and municipalities are choosing to modify and redefine their practices. Many of us have educated ourselves and others about water quality and best practices issues. Thanks to many of you, the global realignment will have some water quality ramifications here in the Cumberland River Basin. Here's to a great year and a progressive future! We hope you continue enjoying and supporting these endeavors.
Welcome!! It’s my pleasure to bring you the second installment of the new and improved enewsletter,
The Learning Curve, for 2008. This newsletter brings you the best news and
information from the Building Outside the Box (BOB) and Local Officials Community Water
Curriculum (LOC) programs in order to foster cooperation and promote sustainable building
practices that benefit the development community and municipal communities across the
Cumberland River Basin. The dove-tailing of these two programs will bring you high quality
educational opportunities, practical case studies and models, and an informative newsletter
covering relevant events and information at the national, regional and local level.

Director, Building Outside the Box, Cumberland River Compact
It is my pleasure to introduce the new and improved e-newsletter, The Learning Curve, for 2008. We at the Compact felt that the Building Outside the Box (BOB) and Local Officials Community Water Curriculum (LOC) programs had so much in common that our participants and partners could be better served by integrating our e-newsletters. 2008 will be one of strong cooperation and dove-tailing of these two programs to produce high quality educational opportunities, tangible, on-the-ground models, and an informative newsletter covering nationwide events, sustainable development articles, local, regional, and global planning and quality growth ideas. In this issue we begin a strong tradition of collaborative work striving to bring the most up to date information to our loyal members.
Vena Jones, Dir., Local Officials Community Water Curriculum
Know what the major Cumberland River pollutant is? Well, it is the DIRT and
the other "stuff" from our yards, our roofs and our driveways that runs off
every time we have a good rain.
If we all kept our dirt in our own yards, the river would be a lot healthier
and safer for everyone.
Visit the Sediment page to learn more about Muddy Waters and what YOU can do
to keep your dirt at home.
